Selina Smith

Weirdly, Chase's bed is now my favorite place to sleep, seriously, it's so fucking crazy, his bed is mega soft and it just pisses me off. I eat my dinner before going upstairs to chill. I came at the right time, because Nick was blowing up my phone with texts.

NICK: Have you done it yet?

I bit down on my lower lip, thinking of how to reply.

ME: No, I was thinking about doing it tmrw, or did u want me to do it on sm? (Social media, btw)

I didn't think that Nick was the force-y type, but he treats me good, so I guess I'm going along with his plan.

NICK: No, it's alr, babe, but change of plans.

Oof, I can't keep up with one plan, he needs to stop changing them.

ME: Oh, ok, what is it?

NICK: It's still on the same person, but instead, when we go skl tmrw, I want u 2 put them on sm then.

I start to panic, my fingers were shaking as I'm trying to turn straight, my pulse increased rapidly.

ME: But what if they trace it back to me?😱

NICK: Heh, babe, dw, they won't and we'll put it on a diff account.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

"Fuck" I murmur as the door opens, Chase comes in and I quickly shove my phone under my pillow. He stops and looks at me like I'm crazy, whereas I'm there, trying to slow my pulse down, so he doesn't suspect anything. I hear a faint buzz, from my phone, I ignore it.

"Hey, what's up?" I ask, slowly standing up, wow, Nick must've scared the fuck out of me, because I couldn't stand, my legs were shaking. Chase holds out a pile of my clothes, "Pet told me to bring these up to you" he says, placing them on my bed. "You, ok?" He asks.

"Mmm" I hum, my stupid mind is somewhere else.

"Seriously?" He asks, he looks more concerned.

"Yeah, I'm fine" I say to him, I smile and he smirks, "you're weird, Smith" he chuckles and goes out. I don't take it into offense, that's our friendship for you, meaningless banter. I pull out my phone and check the message, yep, it was from Nick.

NICK: Ily, babe, don't let me down 😘

I had read the message and thought to myself, that it's not what I want, not at all.

ME: Can't we reconsider this, petty shit?

NICK: Wtf, babe?! I don't want to, I've already told u bare crazy shit abt him and now you want to reconsider?!

ME: What?

NICK: Babe, he's a psycho, I told u abt what he did, and lemme tell u summat, he's gonna end up coming between us 2, and I don't want that, do u?🥺

ME: No

NICK: Good ily, baby, gn 😘😘

I was scared at this point. I'm not afraid of Nick, I'm just afraid of what I'm gonna do, it's gonna end up hurting someone. I was, once again, shaking, but this time, I couldn't stop. I felt tears rolling down my cheeks, I rub them away quickly, fuck, why the hell am I crying?

I open my door, I'm so warm, I couldn't even see where I was going. I trip over my own feet and almost went falling down the stairs, until I feel two warm hands wrap around my waist. "Woah" Chase catches me and my eyes are still filled with saltwater. "Hey, what's wrong?" He asks, pulling me into his chest. Oh my days, his chest, was like heaven, he was so warm, his heart beating at the perfect pace.

He slowly reverses and I mumble, "mmm, what are you doing?" "Shhh, it's ok" he whispers, we enter his room and he lays I his bed, gently placing me on his chest. I feel him tugging at his shirt, I lift my head and he takes his shirt off. I heavily breathe against his chest, "I'm so so so sorry" I say to him, "huh" he says in surprise.

"What happened, Smith?" He asks. I'm already asleep by the time he'd ask that.

The next morning...

I'm already wide awake before Chase is, it's about 5 in the morning, a whole hour before Chase wakes up for his workout. He looks so precious and innocent when he's sleeping, so cute. I check my phone and decides to text Nick before school.

ME: i can't do it, Nick, he doesn't deserve it.

"Hmmm" Chase wakes up and I quickly hide my phone, "what are you doing awake?" He asks, he's really tired so he's got this little sleepy voice on, it's so cute. "Nothing" I whisper and lay back down, on his chest. I fall asleep quickly, I'm starting to think Chase's chest has some magical powers to my comfort or something.

I wake up again at 7 and Chases not in bed, well I don't expect anything different. I hear the shower on, I'm still so tired, it tends to happen when I've cried the night before, or even the whole night, and that only happened to me twice in my life. Once was the first time I got dumped at a strangers place and the second was when Chase had given me a taste of reality, you know that night, he goes I'm miserable.

I hear the shower turn off and I quickly throw my head back on his pillow, it smelt exactly like him, he always manages to smell nice, it's crazy.

He comes out in a towel, my eyes were closed but open, I kept my gaze on him as he paces around the room, he stops and looks into the mirror and from there he looks at me, we locked our gaze for about 2 minutes before he comes up to me.

He kneels down so his face is in line with mine, "you gonna watch me get dressed, Smith?" He asks, smirking, I slowly smile and don't say anything. He gets up and I turn around, my back facing him. I decided to check my phone whilst he was getting dressed.
"Oh, yeah, that dickhead was blowing up your phone" Chase tells me, whilst I scroll through the messages.

NICK: Wtf, dym?!

NICK: R u crazy? He did the worst of the worst to me, nothing compare to what he's to u in a lifetime.

ME: What he flipped out on u 4 sleeping w his sister, that's so bad isn't it?🙄

NICK: Listen, yh, u little bitch if u don't do what I say, there's gonna b a little issue between us

NICK: Fine, then, if u don't do it, I will.

I was sort of relieved, but I don't understand why he didn't just do it in the first place. Whatever, I get up and Chase in the middle of the room on his phone, texting someone.

"Do you mind?" I ask, pointing at his bathroom, he looks up from his phone, smirks and nods. I get dressed fast and I see a text ping across my screen again.

NICK: i'm outside, babe, come out.

Wow, he had the audacity to pick me up after calling me a bitch, I just go with him. "Bye Chase" I say, before going.

Omds, they're planning something against someone 😱

I know you lot ain't idiots so you'd probably have caught on by now, but it's ok if you didn't

But is it just me or is Nick being a bit controlling?
